trashed sysvinit - how can I reinstall!

[Rory Campbell-Lange <rory@campbell-lange.net>]

I was playing around trying to upgrade util-linux from sid, and managed
to delete sysvinit. Now I can boot, but none of the init scripts are
run, and I don't know how to go on from there (ie mount all the
partitions including proc, get the network up...). The init scripts
still appear to exist.

I've got the sysvinit deb (and util-linux) on a shared exchange
partition.

I'd be extremely grateful for some advice on getting sysvinit
reinstalled.

Thanks
Rory
